Six ideas are put together here to make a design for a 4 tpi VAX with a very
short cycle time, whose basic execution engine is simpler than Nautilus. Other
parts of the design will be at least as complex, so that the whole machine will
not be any simpler; in fact, if it has high-performance floating-point, there
will be substantial added complexity for that. The hope is that the other parts
are not critical to the performance, and hence can be designed without having
to squeeze out every nanosecond.
